Script Editor | Liam Foley | ABOUT ME

Over twenty years Script Editing, Feature Film Consultant, Screenplay Development & Production Support for Producers and Screenwriters | Script Editor | Get in Touch | Hire

With over twenty years Production and Development Executive experience at companies such as Working Title Films, Kudos and Miramax UK, I now work freelance, moving between TV projects as well as features, and shorts.

I have broad tastes, and have worked extensively across both comedy and drama. I have a soft spot for genre material, thrillers and horror, Young Adult, and high-concept ideas. I’ve been lucky enough to work with writers such as Jack Thorne, Anthony McCarten, and Hossein Amini, as well as with new and emerging talent, and under contract to the BFI and regional screen agencies across the UK, Ireland and Australia.

My experience as Senior Script Editor and Development Executive across such a broad range of projects in both film and TV means that I’m ideally suited to help take yours forward too.
